Google is evolving with their infamous Gmail, its email software, in form and content, with new options to control the transfer, copying, downloading or printing of a message.

At a time when not a day goes by without talking about security and privacy issues regarding email software and social networks, Google is announcing that it has strengthened the security and privacy of its email software, GMail.

When sending e-mails, Gmail now includes a confidential mode that allows you to send a message with an expiry date of up to 7 days, which can be useful for sensitive documents sent. And, to go further when it comes to security, access by SMS for an e-mail is configurable via this same mode.

A dose of artificial intelligence

Google pushes the idea until having the possibility to block the transfer, the copy, the download or the printing of a message (what about the screenshot in this last case?), to avoid any unfortunate gesture of the recipient. Another improvement regarding user experience is the presence of artificial intelligence. For example, the playback pane shows a small reminder message to reply or not to a message, an exciting feature for all those who receive dozens of emails per day minimum.

In another genre, the Web version of Gmail is enhanced with Smart Reply functionality, available only in the mobile application until now. This one proposes ready-made answers to save time when it is necessary.

Concerning the interface, Gmail has undergone a certain facelift for more simplicity in its use. In the playback pane, four actions are directly accessible by simple icons without having to open the e-mail: archive, delete, mark as read and set to sleep. To activate this new version of Gmail, click on the Interface Settings button then on “Try the new version of Gmail.”

The crazy rise of Bitcoin continues. The price of the virtual currency, whose name arouses a fever in the media and on the stock markets, continues to rise, surpassing the symbolic threshold of $8,000 on November 21 while it was still worth $3,000 last June.

If we recall that the e-money was trading for $1 in 2010, the increase is impressive, but we must also remember that the price of Bitcoin also fell sharply in 2011 and 2013 and has experienced very rapid fluctuations since then.

However, the mad race for growth that has been going on since the beginning of the year 2017 and the symbolic passage of the $8,000 suggests to all those who profess an unshakeable faith in the new digital god that it will make them millionaires. On the contrary, other observers predict the imminent bursting of this new speculative bubble or insist on the fact that changes in the price of Bitcoin are decided by a small number of players, some 70 investment funds that make and break the prices as they wish. You can even buy Bitcoin with Paypal like explained here www.cryptos-monnaies.fr/acheter-des-bitcoins-avec-paypal/

This new technology opens up vivid and fascinating perspectives and a speculative fury that bodes well for a crash.

The current situation is not so far removed from the hysteria triggered in the 1990s by the beginnings of the Internet. In both cases, a new technology that few still understand, vagueness and fascination, and speculative fury that bodes well for a crash.

The bursting of the first “Internet bubble” in March 2000 left many investors on the back burner, fewer who had managed to preserve the considerable fortunes built on sand in such a short time.

Without throwing into the extreme gloom of the last-minute modernists who swear by the “tablet revolution” at school or want to connect everything, from the teacher to the entrepreneur to the fridge, it remains true that in two decades, a few significant innovations have forever changed our lives and our societies.

The same type of technological leap is taking place behind the highly mediatic Bitcoin, a virtual tree that hides the forest from the real applications of the block chine principle to the economy and everyday life. What hides behind these still little-known concepts of digital currencies whose stock market adventures excite investors’ imagination? The answer is simple: an algorithm. The explanation is much less so.

The Bitcoin is an encrypted currency that allows for online peer-to-peer transactions without the intervention of a third party as an audit authority.

The computer giant registers the GSM cell addresses of users, even if geolocation services are disabled. This collection is expected to cease by the end of this month.

It’s not just OnePlus or Wiko that are collecting strange user data. The giant Google itself has just been caught in the bag. Quartz reporters have just revealed that Mountain View’s servers are constantly recording the GSM cell numbers of all Android smartphones. This identifier, which is specific to each operator, is automatically distributed to terminals as soon as they enter the radius of a base station. The problem is that it makes it possible to locate the user in a more or less fine way, especially if triangulation techniques are used.

Google has confirmed to Quartz the collection of this data by stating that it has never been stored. GSM cell addresses have been effectively transmitted since January 2017 to apparently “improve the speed and performance of message routing.” But in reality, this data would never have been used. Google promised he’d stop collecting it by the end of the month.

General terms of services of use are not clear.

According to a Quartz source, this collection started with the update of Firebase Cloud Messaging, a mail and notification service that has been owned by Google since 2014 and is integrated by default in all Android smartphones. It is not clear how the GSM cell number can help Google to route these messages and notifications. Quartz has found that this collection is carried out on all terminals at all times, even if the user deactivates geolocation, and even in the absence of a SIM card.

In Google’s terms of use, this collection is not specifically stated. Google only explains how to use “different technologies to locate you, including IP address, GPS signals and other sensors that allow us to identify devices, WiFi access points, and nearby relay antennas.” It would be nice if Google would abandon this vague wording and finally give more details about what it collects.

There are various ways to consume cannabis; it is possible to ingest it, to smoke it or to vaporize it, among others.

In this article, we will try to explain what vaporization is, what are its benefits, and which types of cannabis strains are ideal for vaporizing. We will also see the different types of vaporizers most commonly available on the market.

What is cannabis vaping?

Vaporizing consists of subjecting the cannabis to a temperature lower than the combustion temperature, 220 ° – 240º approximately, and inhaling the vapors that escape from it. The ideal vapor temperature of cannabis is between 180 ° C and 210 ° C.

The first information we have about the vapor of marijuana comes from ancient Egypt, where cannabis, among other aromatic herbs, was placed on a hot stone so that a good odor, like a kind of deodorant, spreads.

Why Vaporize Cannabis?

The vapors released from combustion contain a lot of harmful gases and many carcinogenic components, including carbon monoxide, tar, benzene or toluene, among others.

When we burn cannabis, its structure goes from 70 elements that the plant contains, to more than 400 components that are then derived from the burning of marijuana. One study shows that 95% of the vapor is made up of THC when vaping cannabis, while by smoking it only 13% of the smoke contains cannabinoids, the rest is composed of by-products of combustion, the majority being Of carcinogenic hydrocarbons.

People who are close to us are also intoxicated if the cannabis is smoked. They then become passive smokers.

Types of Vaporizers

Many vaporizers are available in the market today, of different types and with various methods for evaporation of plant components.

Portable Vapes

Portable vaporizers are those that have a rechargeable battery, they have a range, and can be transported by the user with great ease. There are many portable vaporizers, such as Ascent DaVinci, Arizer, MiniVAP, Crafty, Mighty …

The Arizer vaporizer is compact and has a 2-hour battery life when used at low temperatures with a glass absorption tube, which helps to cool the smoke. The new model of this vaporizer subjects the cannabis to medium heat in direct contact with a hot ceramic plate and has five temperatures ranging from 180º to 210º.

The portable vaporizer that we love very much and that a large part of the team uses for various cannabis tastings is the Ascent DaVinci. It is a very versatile portable vaporizer. His 3 hours of autonomy make him a perfect ally for an afternoon with friends, and a good herb.

With it, you can regulate the temperature from 160º to 220º and enjoy all the flavor and effects of marijuana.

Desktop vaporizers

Desktop vapes are perfect for consuming cannabis in good company when you are at home, or elsewhere you have electricity to connect them. They have a larger size compared to portable vaporizers but do not depend on batteries.

In a home, plumbing issues cannot be avoided. At one particular time, you may be required to seek the help of a plumber. It means that you need to hire services from an accredited plumbing company which will offer quality. Failure to do so, you may end up hiring any 24 hour plumber, and the result is paying for poor services.

The following are some of the tips to consider when choosing the best plumbing company.

Get references.

The surest way of hiring a valuable plumbing company is by asking for references from friends, family members and colleagues who have once had to hire for plumbing services. They will advice you which company to choose and give you their experiences. Also, you can ask reference from building contractors in the area.

Look for one with insurance.

A company with insurance is the best of all as you will never know when an emergency will happen. For instance, they might be repairing your heater then one of the plumber tools hits you or a family member. If the company had insurance, then you will be catered by the insurance policy. On the contrary, you will have to pay for treatment which is an unnecessary expenditure that was not in your budget.

Ensure they have a warranty.

Good plumbing companies who offer quality services have total confidence in whatever they do. As proof, they will not hesitate to issue a guarantee which is solid. Such warranties are valid for one to two years after the work is completed. Never accept services from a company which does not offer a warranty.

Are they experienced?

When looking for a quality plumbing company, select that one which has a plumber who has been in the industry for a longer period. Experience is gathered with time, so several years’ means a lot of experience to handle complicated issues.

How do they charge?

You should look at their price list and compare their pricing with other plumbing companies in the area. But always have in mind that never leave to get quality when because of a certain company is very cheap. Note that businesses that offer very low prices mostly don’t render quality services.

What are the reviews from clients?

Check online for the company’s reviews. There are online websites that dedicate in rating companies. For instance, you can check Yellow Pages and see what clients had to comment.

Whether you have found a deal too good to be true or have decided ahead of time to cave in and pay more than you should, you actually can avoid many common problems that just seem to be a natural and expected part of the real estate process. All you have to do is avoid being distracted by the estate agent and maintain a laser-like focus on some of the areas that most commonly need servicing.

Faucets

Not just taps in a general sense, of course, but an entirely particular disorder that may be indicative of more serious problems with your dream home than are apparent. Make a mission of actually checking every faucet in the house for dripping. Do not be afraid of being rude; leaky faucets are more than just an annoyances, they are a metaphor. That sound that gradually transforms from annoying to an unheard facet of white noise is the sound of money emptying out of your bank account. What seems little more than minor drip today could very well turn out to be a major leak tomorrow.

Windows

Few accessories have led to worse home buying decisions than beautiful window treatments. Do not under any circumstances be led astray by gorgeous drapes, beautiful curtains or fancy shades. It is incumbent upon your future happiness to peer past such facades in search of what they may be hiding. Problems like sagging or cracking of the sash that will beyond any doubt cost you big down the road.

Vegetation

No, not what the buyers are eating when you the estate agents ring you up around supper time. A house is a house, but a home is a house with a yard. Do not miss the opportunity to check out landscaping features like trees, vines, flower gardens, bushes, shrubs and, of course, the grass. Inspect every last inch of greenery for tell-tale evidence of insect infestation, dead branches, brown patches in the yard, blight, termites and even just plain old unsightly upkeep that has only recently been given a quick once-over. Check the yard not only for direct evidence of how problems might affect the house itself such as termites or limbs falling on the roof but also for systemic lack of upkeep that most likely translates into an equitable lack of regular maintenance behind the closed doors.

Outdoor Structure

The same deal with the yard applies to other outside elements. Driveways, walkways and patios all add to the kerb appeal of a home but are also prone to cracks and other costly damages. Minor cracks are normal but don’t attribute any excessive impairments as natural. An overabundance of fissures, chips, potholes and other deficiencies are more likely the consequence of shoddy workmanship that you will eventually be the one paying for on down the road.
